I have some data-crunching code implemented in ActionScript, and I'd like to call it from JavaScript. The related question [URL] mentions the blog post [URL] which tells me how to do this. All I need now is generating the SWF file from the .as file completely automatically, with a comand-line tool on Linux. How is this possible?

Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.
The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.

My workflow usually goes like this: i create a symbol in Flash IDE with textfields, containers, etc. Then I select "export for actionscript" and type in the classname (automatic declaration of stage instances, of course, is off). Then i create a corresponding classfile in FDT and declare all this textfields and other objects that are in my symbol. This is pretty routine and boring process that takes a lot of time.
Is there a way to automate it? Maybe some plugin for flash IDE that will automatically create a class file based on symbol exported for AS?
Update: So, following the answer Pavel fljōt provided, i wrote my own command to accomplish this task.[URL]..
if is possible to generate a source code from a FLA file?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a site, for kids, which has a small avatar in the corner that talks.The avatar is a flash file and the plan is to determine what it says through a mix of javascript and ajax.
Unfortunately when I make the flash file play an Mp3 file through JavaScript, I can't seem to stop the sound.. so when I keep clicking on a link which causes it to talk, I hear the sound repeated x times.
The odd thing is, when I attach the very same code to a button in flash, there seems to be no such limitation. It seems as if it won't store anything in global variables when calling from JavaScript.
I am looking for a Flash based image uploader with resize and possibly rotate function. I have checked many possibilities, and the very best in simplicity and unser experience I found is Kroppr at a very affordable €29/license. The downside is, it comes with encrypted PHP code to bind the product to a subdomain. That is understandable, but while I'm perfectly happy to pay money for a tool as great as that, and ready to sign all sorts of legal agreements to protect the license, I am not ready to use encrypted PHP code, especially not from an outlet that doesn't even have a postal address on its web site.Does anybody know an Open Source or commercial solution that comes close to Kroppr and ships with source, or allow for full customization and free definition of the server-side backend?[code]The server side technology would preferably be PHP.
View 9 RepliesI have a web application that has javscript interspersed through the page. What happens is that safari will dump the source of the javascript code instead of executing it. I can reproduce this consistently. The page is a mashup of different forms of content: It loads flash videos using osflv and is generated via a php script on the server side. In addition the page also contains calls to Google Map's API to display a map. The content is placed in separate tabs using javascript to provide tab interaction. I am also using mootools, and not sure if that is potentially causing issues.
Here are the javascript includes:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2.1-core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mootools-1.2-more.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>

I'm looking for something that automatically generates images from the content in some SWF and stores the images on a server to be fetched if the user doesn't have Flash Player installed. The purpose is to at least show a static diagram instead of just a table with data, if Flash Player isn't installed.
It's quite easy to create an image from a DisplayObject using Actionscript, but that requires someone opens the SWF in the first place. I would like this to execute on the server side. Is it possible? Is there a headless Flash Player that could be used with PHP for example?
From a component I am working with.....If the target object has a property called source, which is used to set the path and file name of the media file to be loaded, then the list component will automatically set that source property."I am a little confused by what this really means.

I want to generate a maximum of 5 childs in a clip called 'placeholder' using a button (placeCloud_1). the childs will 'float' to the top of the stage. when the y=0 the child must be removed (using the function checkPos() ) so i can add another child without exceding the number of 5 childs.

I have a page with multiple flash objects which are written by a third party and thus can't be changed. They call a JS function but don't seem to pass any identifying parameters. Is there any way to determine inside the function which flash object called it?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to write a Silverlight control that hosts a Flash camera and microphone (since Silverlight doesn't support these things natively, worse luck). I've written a short little Flex application ("WLocalWebCam.swf") which handles the camera, and exposes two external methods: connect(uri:String, streamName:String), and disconnect(). I can call these successfully through JavaScript as follows (simplified to remove error handling, etc.):
function connectWebCam(webCamID, rtmpUri, streamName) {
var flashCam = getWebCam(webCamID);
flashCam.Connect(rtmpUri, streamName);[code].....
I need to find a flash video player that is free and open source. I love flowplayer and jwplayer but we fit into their most expensive licenses. It will cost us over $1400 to license flowplayer for our use. We don't have that right now.
I just need a flash player with a basic javascript api that is truly free. I have been googling for hours and nothing so far.
It would be a huge plus if someone knows of a chromeless youtube player that uses the youtube as3 api. I don't have time right now to code an entire chromeless player complete with all the controls and a progress bar.
how can I generate and address Instances of Movieclips like Original --> riginal2...Original3....in a for-loopInside pure Computerlanguage we can use a counter to fill up and read out an array.

Everything works, except for the removeChild! i've tried removeChild(this) , this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(this), parent.this.removeChild(mc), placeholder.removeChild(this) etc... and nothing works. When using (this) it throws TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert global@2f6710d1 to flash.display.DisplayObject.

when using (mc) it throws

View 9 RepliesI am working on a Flash app that is 900x700 pixels. When viewed in misc. browsers at 1024x768, the browser chrome causes robs too much of the vertical space and the app appears in a window with a vertical scrollbar. Unacceptable.
The flash app will be launched via a link emailed to the viewers.
I'd like to avoid resizing the flash app and am wondering if there's a way to do the following via javascript, with no clicks involved:maximize the current browser window remove current window address bar and tabs / switch browser to full screen view (equivalent to pressing F11).
An alternative would be to resize the flash app vertically to match the browser canvas height to avoid scrolling. This may cause the app to become unreadable, so not the best approach in my case.
UPDATE: Seems that browser resizing and autoswitch to full screen won't work and neither will the flash app auto resize. What is the best approach then? And, some users may have browsers with toolbars or open a small browser window.
The only idea I have is to use javascript and display a message to users with small browser windows to pres F11 manually. The audience is executes and some may not even know what an F11 means...
I am trying to create a bar chart with an extra Y-axis that maps the %-age of the bars.[code]But i can't seem to be able to generate the second y-axis.This y-axis should have 0% at the bottom and 100% at the top. Then i will provide the data of how many % the column x has. This should be drawn as a red line.

Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).
View 1 RepliesI was recently searching for a way to call the print function on a PDF I was displaying in adobe air. I solved this problem with a little help from this fellow, and by calling postMessage on my PDF like so:
//this is the HTML I use to view my PDF
<object id="PDFObj" data="test.pdf" type="application/pdf"/>
//this actionscript lives in my air app
var pdfObj:Object = htmlLoader.window.document.getElementById("PDFObj");
pdfObj.postMessage([message]);
I've tried this in JavaScript as well, just to be sure it wasn't adobe sneaking in and helping me out..

I'm basically looking for something that can play/stream a variety of formats if possible (or if not, to have an easy way for non-technies to convert them to the desired format). I'm also looking for something easy to setup - like including a javascript tag at the top of the page and then perhaps using a div, or just 1 line of script code to make it work. If it's flash, then have to be simple to setup too.
View 2 RepliesWe have mutiple live streams(games) in our application and one of our requirement is to record the games when they start and end the record after stop.We have written a servere side Code based on guidelines provided in the forums. Our Sample code looks like this.
Client.prototype.startRecord = function( source, destination )
{
trace("Recording Stream: " + source + " to: " + destination);
this.newStream = Stream.get(destination);[code]..............
We have written a PHP page which receives the Game Start and Game Stop and calls the FMS startRecord and stopRecord functions accordingly.We tested this record manuall by passing the values to PHP page and recording works perfectly.Our problem arises when we automate this recording. Every minutes we have 10 games that are created and hence the PHP page calls FMS 10 times a minute to startRecord and stopRecord.Some of the recorded flv are inconsistent and recording is never complete.
Can FMS take such sequential request? We are stuck with this because the recording is partial sometimes.We are using FMS 4 with Red Hat. Any other information will be provided.
So this is my code so far:

when i play the movie, it plays scene 2, however, scene 2, which is in my flash document, plays automatically. how can i stop this? is there some code which only makes scene 2 play when called for and not play automatically.

var loadit2 = new Loader();

signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
